Application of the Air-Thermal Oxidation Technology for Producing Biocompatible Oxide Coatings on Periosteal Osteofixation Devices from Stainless Steel

摘要

The basic possibility is studied for producing biocompatible oxide coatings on periosteal osteofixation devices from stainless steel using the air-thermal oxidation method. The properties of the coatings are studied at different temperature modes of oxidation. Steel osteofixation devices with air-thermal oxide coatings are studied in vivo and show their high biocompatibility with thecoatings produced at oxidation temperatures of 400 and 500℃ and exposure of 0.5 h.
